About

I feel a lot of satisfaction helping people with OCD, because ERP significantly allows people to improve their ways of life. I will work within your value system and give you a lot of support and encouragement. I will basically become your cheerleader. I am also an art therapist and run a support group called Creativity and OCD. Outside of work, I value making art, spending time with friends, and nurturing my three cats.

You are stronger than OCD. You're braver, stronger and more courageous than you think you are. Through treatment, you’ll learn you are not your thoughts. Your thoughts don't define you; your values define you.

Barbara is a truly remarkable therapist. Her kindness and compassion shine through in every appointment. I finally feel like I’m heard by someone else. Her breadth of knowledge is also astounding, and she has so many great pieces of advice and knows of so many resources people can utilize. I’m truly happy we crossed paths.

I am sure all the NOCD therapists are great, but I think Barbara is the best. She is helping me deconstruct and question everything I have been conditioned to think and helping me build a life based on what I value.

I tried NOCD with B for a few weeks back several months ago, we had five sessions and had not yet done any ERP exposures. We only started building the hierarchy, which was incorrect and did not have the correct obsessions listed. I recently started with a different therapist outside of NOCD. I had an intake appt with an intern, one appointment with the therapist. I have my second appt with the therapist today, and we will be building the hierarchy. This feels more properly oriented.

Barbara is the best therapist. Even though ERP is very challenging, it’s clear that she knows what she is doing and has my back throughout the process.
